    Abstract: 1,235,138. Formaldehyde. BADISCHE ANILIN- & SODA-FABRIK A.G. 1 Nov., 1968 [4 Nov., 1967; 2 Dec., 1967; 19 July, 1968], No. 51928/68. Heading C2C. Formaldehyde solutions are prepared by reaction of methanol in the gas phase with O 2 or a gas containing free O 2 with or without steam at 600-800‹ C. in contact with a silver catalyst followed by multistage absorption of the formaldehyde from the resultant gas, the gas passing through at least three absorption stages at 60-90‹ C. under acid conditions, the first to penultimate stages containing an aqueous ureaformaldehyde precondensate solution having a molar ratio of formaldehyde to urea of from 1.8:1 to 2.8:1 and the final stage containing an aqueous urea solution, the residence time in said final stage being not more than one hour. Aqueous methanol recovered from the gas leaving the final absorption stage is preferably recycled for oxidation, and the mixture of recovered aqueous methanol and fresh methanol is treated with an alkaline agent to a pH of at least 9 before oxidation. The aqueous formaldehyde-urea precondensate solution may be obtained by mixing liquids from the final and first absorption stages and condensing under acid conditions.
